tisti IS on wool and manufactures OF
wool Is now ready for distribution. 1t
shows: The number of sheep in the
United states rose from l9,C0l,0 in
$40 TO 81 100000 in 1851, but dee n ed
to As, 900, 900 in 1857. This decline oc.
Cured mainly in the southern and
western states, notably Texas, and il
attributed ia IA great part to the de.
cline in the price of wool since 1884.
The increase of wool imports he
about kept pace with the growth oi
our wool products, both having been
about doubled siuce 1869. While our
product OF wooens has increased since
1850 nearly seven fold our imports
have increased 62 per cent. but the
consumption per capita has doubled.

STANDING in the shadow of the Gus.

chief, said to band Of young Grow

and we get three pounds of meat each
day. You kill no whites, you do
nothing-you get two poundsof meat" I"
And true IT IL that the Sioux who
massscred the whites are feasting on
much larger rations than are given the
Crows who foughl in defense OF the

Especial Correspondence Of the Alexs. GAZETTE
WASHINGTON, D. c.. May "A, 1887.
A private letter received here to day

that city from visit to Yellowstone Park,
and will soon start on their way way home.
When they started West it was published
in the newspapers that they went with Sem

Capt. Densmore, u pronounced republi-
can, for twelve years the chief usher at the
White House, has resigned that position for
more lucrative private one in the North.
Senator Riddleberger Is still here. 1t is
said he has made q peremptory demand
upon Secretary McCook, of the e. S Senate,
for position for his friend, Mr.. Campbell,
who was removed at the instance Of General
Malone, and that his ability to tie the Sen
ate if he shall choose to do so, may induce
compliance with that demand. The repub.
lican fear, however, is that should be get
taste of patronage there will be no such
thing as satisfying him, that be will demand
all in sight. that he will be an insatiate
monster, and the question with them is
whether it will not be as we'll to dare
his worst before giving him any thing as to
risk his anger after he shall have obtained
q share of the senats's offices. No definite
action can be taken in the Senate without
6 majority, and part of such action of the
Senate Of the next Congress will be the
election of several committee cbairmen.
There are good many strangers in the
city, but nothing like the number that was
expected. OF all the hotels here the regis.

Dear Sir-I have been called on to day by
Mr.. job T. Clements, of this city, IN refer
ence TO the Critic article of which you SPOKE
to me just prior TO your departure Tor emma
and desired TO know the authorship.
wrote you that according to the statement
of our reporter (Mr. Larner) who prepared
the article for the press, and which was pub
lished without careful editorial examination,
he obtained his information from private
letter written homo by Ensign Abner b.
Clements, of the alert The latter now
at Macon, Mo, and writes to bis father that
he never knew of anything derogatcry c!
your administration of the Hong Kong Con-
sulate, and did not know at the date Of the
publication referred TO that you had been

Mr. John 7. Clements, who, | should have
stated above, is Ensign Clements father,
has also shown me the letter on which cur
reporter based his article, and it makes no
reference to you personally or officially. IL
does relate, on the authority of eeuman
who told the story, some occurrences SINH
lar TO what are described in the Critic. hu;
it appears that they took place at Yoko
hama. aud not at Hong Kong and my the,
ory of the matter is that Mr.. Larner, The
reporter, being q friend aud relative Of the
Clements family, and having had access to
the Ensigns letter must have ccnf0undad
the names OF Yokohama and Hong Kong in
fixing up his article for the press, and know
ing yon 10 be consul at the latter place, thus
inadvertently and unfortunately associated
Yourself with another consulate and Il trans

nothing. have given the subject careful
attention. and while / am satisfied that The
skirts Of Ensign Clements are clear, cannot
divine the existence Of any possible motive
on Mr. Larner's part to have made an in-
territorial misrepresentation of the facts
stated. This being the case the onus of the
ofIense rests on myself, and | know TO a
dead certainty that no motive could have
existed in my own mind to do you an in
Justice, or seem to place you in false light
for the sake of cheap sensation. As in
many other respects l rely mainly on the
good faith of our writers to furnish nothing
for publication but what is known to be
true or capable Of substantation; but the
best Of editors sometimes get caught Ia
this case / regret it the more because my
sympathies are oil with the democratic
members of the diplomatic and consular
service, and on several occasions | have
taken pains to discredt statements made
by interested parties rejecting on our min
i.ters and consuls. can only say further
that such correction as you may desire of
the misrepresentation of yourself, for which
it would seem l have to bear the response
bility, will be cheerfully made; and upon
this point | await your pleasure. Very re
